Ingredients

01 - 300 g cooked shredded chicken
02 - 120 g dry egg noodles
03 - 2 carrots, thinly sliced
04 - 2 celery stalks, sliced
05 - 1 onion, diced
06 - 1.2 liters chicken broth
07 - 1 tbsp olive oil
08 - 1 tsp dried thyme
09 - 1 tbsp chopped parsley
10 - ¼ tsp black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring, until beginning to soften.
02 - Add dried thyme and pepper, then pour in broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
03 - Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until carrots are nearly tender.
04 - Add egg noodles and cook for the time on their package, usually 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally so they do not stick together.
05 - Stir in cooked shredded chicken and simmer until hot throughout, reaching 74°C / 165°F. Add a little hot water if the noodles have absorbed too much broth.
06 - Stir in parsley and taste before adding optional salt. Serve promptly while the noodles still have some bite. For make-ahead soup, cook and store the noodles separately.
07 - Cool in shallow containers and refrigerate within two hours for up to three days. Reheat thoroughly, adding extra broth or water as the noodles soften and absorb liquid.
